well sorry for the lack of updates lately guys i've actually had the swine
0:04
flu which is not a lot of fun so i haven't been at work i missed our grand
0:09
opening uh but i got a package in the mail today so here i am unboxing
0:14
something that i bought myself here
0:17
and it came in a box that's actually from one of our competitors here so i
0:22
you know i'm just covering up the logos here as a lot of you know i work at ncix
0:27
so i'm not exactly gonna go advertising for competitors but anyway so the guy
0:33
packed it up really really well for me here it's got packing peanuts inside so
0:38
what i bought was a frozen q teaver t-virus
0:44
inverse reservoir so first of all here's the reservoir itself
0:49
let's see what we have inside for accessories i have an inverter
0:53
okay which has two bear leads on it
0:56
and as well as a molex adapter okay so
0:59
these appear to be custom-made very cool
1:03
all right so all the wires go in one end rather than
1:06
having like a pass-through i'll figure out how that works later okay inside
1:11
here we have oh this seems to be the mounting clips as well as a couple of
1:15
screws so these are clear acrylic mounting
1:19
holders so these are like a half uh
1:22
moon shape is one of them broken i hope not
1:26
maybe i better open these up really quick here what did i do with my knife
1:33
okay
1:36
here i sure hope everything survived the
1:39
shipment because this took a long time to come let me tell you it's a 150
1:45
reservoir and it must have taken a couple months to reach me just because
1:48
of the highly custom nature of the work this guy does oh no these look great
1:52
okay so there's my acrylic reservoir holders there those look awesome
1:58
let's see what else we got inside here i have a pci bracket oh that's a switch
2:03
for the light inside the reservoir so the way this actually
2:08
works and i'll explain more later is
2:11
there's um
2:14
an acrylic helix inside so you can see i
2:18
have a liquid fusion type with a with a 250 ml tube i mean 150 is
2:24
a little small and 400 is really big so
2:27
i also have blue color and there we go
2:31
that is the full specs of the t virus res that i purchased
2:40
you can get in touch with this guy over at extreme systems you can't actually buy these in a store right now i mean
2:44
it's the kind of thing where i looked at it and i went okay well we could stock
2:47
this but how would we account for all the customization that
2:52
people want to do and that is
2:56
gorgeous so here is how the res itself
2:59
works you have a bits power fill port that he's populated for me at the top
3:04
here and you actually fill the res via that
3:08
now it uses an aluminum housing for the top and the bottom but the water doesn't
3:12
actually make contact with that at all now you can get optional silver or black
3:18
caps i went with the black caps on the top and the bottom i think it looks
3:21
pretty good and then you can get different finishes on the actual helix
3:26
structure itself depending on what you prefer you can get clear or you can get
3:31
kind of a frosted look so that when the black light inside you can see the black
3:36
light on the inside there glows it will actually light up your uv fluid as well
3:42
as the uv acrylic tube that is inside
3:46
now at the bottom of the res hold on let me just get this back on the
3:50
threading seems good actually that's excellent it's done a good job of that
3:53
on the bottom of the res you will find the lead for my cathode that is inside
3:58
it seems to be all sealed up there that's good a couple of screws as well
4:02
as two g1 quarter ports so i can use
4:06
that to attach looks like up to about 3 8 compression fittings no problem and
4:11
one can be the input or intake and one
4:14
is the outtake for water inside the reservoir so
4:20
here's a couple shots of it lit up actually from one of his posts on
4:23
extreme systems so you can get a better idea but i think in a couple days once
4:27
i've had a chance to work on the system this is going in i should be able to
4:31
take some time and show it with some fluid inside it thank you for checking
4:35
